Loftus received Second Team All-Conference honors her junior year, followed by a First Team All-Conference nod in 2012 as a senior.  Her senior season performances also earned her a place on the Second Team All-Central Florida team. 

After an impressive high school career for the Bears and club season for Orlando Volleyball Academy, Loftus attended Florida International University in Miami, FL.  Loftus had the opportunity to play in 11 matches as a freshman for the Panthers.
